A/N: Sorry it took so long! I have a lot to deal with right now. I was re-reading my story and I notice I contradict myself a lot. I forgot about the cake testing so let's just say they re-scheduled for when they get back. Anyway, if you didn't read the authors note I put out last chapter here it is: I'm starting a contest! Details at end of story!

Adrian POV

The sun went behind the clouds so Lissa, Christan and I decided to head into the water. Lissa and Christan just sat at the edge of the water holding hands and talking.

I went to sneak up behind Rose, who was talking to Eddie, so I blocked my part of the bond and tried to sneak up behind her. But she was to good of a guardian for that.

She turned around at the last minute and jumped on me, wrapping her legs around my waist and kissing me. I stumbled a little just from surprise, Rose wasn't heavy at all.

"Hey little dhampir, I missed you." I told her once we broke apart for air. "It's only been a few minutes." She said laughing. I gave her the 'and-your-point-is?' look. "I missed you too." She told me, kissing me again.

"I love that bikini on you." I told her, referring to the white bikini she had on that showed off her glowing tanned skin. "Thank you. Enjoy it while it lasts because in a few months I'll be to big to fit into it." She said.

"Yeah but it will be worth it right? Aren't you happy to be pregnant?" I asked her. "Yes I am. Extremely much. Are you happy I'm pregnant?" she asked, worried I wasn't.

"I'm incredibly excited about having a baby with you Rose!" I told her happily. "I still have to tell my parents about the engagement and the baby. Are we going to tell your mom? " She asked me.

"Why don't we invite your parents to dinner when we get back? And then another night we can have dinner with my mom and tell her." I said. "Good idea. And don't forget the day we get back we all have to do the wedding cake testing." She told me.

I told her I wouldn't forget. We went back onto shore and laid down on the towels. Rose was sitting up so I laid my head down in her lap.

She was playing with my hair, running her fingers through it, gently scratching my scalp. I was in heaven. I closed my eyes and tried to shut out everything but her and what she was doing to me.

Who knew the scalp could be so sensitive? Every scrape of her nails, every gentle tug of my hair sent shivers down my spine. After a while of that she suddenly had a thought.

"Crap! I forgot to invite Sydney to the wedding!" Rose said. "Sydney?" I asked, forgetting who that was. "You remember my friend from Russia I told you about? The alchemist?" she asked.

"Oh yes I remember her. Is her number in your phone? Why don't you call her?" I said. "Great idea! Thanks baby!" she said, giving me a kiss before rummaging through her bag and pulling out her phone. She walked around until she got a good signal at the benches near the parking lot.

ROSE POV

(A/N: Just a warning Sydney will be kinda OOC)

I dialed Sydney's number and she answered. "Sydney? It's Rose Hathaway." I said. "Rose! What's up? Kill some more Strogi I have to take care of?" she said laughing.

"Not in Russia." I told her. "Oh I'm not in Russia anymore. I got assigned back her in the US thanks to your dad." She said.

"That's great. So listen actually I called because I have some good news. I'm getting married and wanted to know if you could come?" I asked her.

"Sure Rose! That'd be great! Who are you marrying? Belikov?" she asked. "No actually. A Moroi. Adrian Ivashkov." I told her and bit my lip. I knew she had a thing against vampires but I hope she'd be happy for my sake.

After a pause she said, "That's great Rose. I'm so happy for you! I'd love to come when is it?" she asked. I told her how it was a double wedding with Lissa and all the details.

She wasn't to fond of being in a place full of Moroi, let alone royal Moroi, she told me she'd put on a happy face for me. I thanked her then we talked for a while before hanging up.

Then next few days we spent jet-skiing, parasailing, night swimming and just having a lot of fun. Then we finally headed home. Once we landed we put our stuff in our rooms then headed to a room in the court where we were meeting Megan to do our wedding cake testing.

We went in to see Megan finishing setting up the plates with the slices of cake on it. Since Lissa was going to be queen all the chefs on court had offered to make the cake for us.

Now we just had to decide which chef to use. Megan handed us all forks then had us try different ways of feeding it to our partners.

We crossed arms and fed ourselves, then we fed each other and then Adrian took some of the cake frosting and wiped it on my nose then licked it off. Christan did the same with Lissa and we all laughed.

After we decided which cake to use I went to help Adrian pack up his room and Christan went to help Lissa pack up hers. After we had most of Adrian's clothes packed up he started packing up the drinks from his bar. That reminded me for the wedding toast Lissa and I couldn't have alcohol so I made a mental note to talk to Megan about that later.

Adrian POV

Christan was cooking dinner for Lissa so Rose and I decided to do the same for ourselves. We went to the grocery store located on the court and headed back to my room.

We decided on chicken soup since I couldn't cook that well and neither could she. Rose was chopping vegetables for the soup while I was reading the directions on how to put it all together.

She was slicing vegetables when suddenly the knife slip and she cut her palm. "Shit!" she said and put her lips to her palm to try to stop the bleeding while looking for a rag to wrap her hand in.

She didn't like the taste of her blood so she gagged and spit in the sink. I laughed a little to myself. To me her blood was so delicious but to her it had a disgusting taste.

"Adrian where are the rags?" she asked me. I didn't answer simply went over to her and licked up the remaining blood and my salvia closed the wound. I then healed it so she couldn't split it open again.

"Thank you baby." She told and gave me a hug. "Anytime." I told her. "Hey am I receiving your darkness? I can't feel anything." She asked. "I don't know. I was to worry about you to check. Sorry." I told her.

She put her finger to my lips. When I opened my mouth to ask her what she was doing she put her finger in my mouth and cut herself on my fangs. She let me have a taste then pulled her finger out.

"Heal it please and see if I'm receiving your darkness." She told me. I healed it and watched her aura. "You are. It's weird. I see the darkness going into your aura but then it just seems to disappear." I said.

She thought about it for a while. "Maybe as long as I stay happy the darkness is overpowered by that and it just goes away." She said. "Yeah that must be it. It makes sense." I said.

"I love you." She said and I was filled with happiness. I loved it when she said it first. "I love you too." I told her and kissed her.

It's short I'm sorry! Next chapter will hopefully be longer. It won't be long now until the wedding! So next chapter will hopefully be up sometime this week! =)

So, about the contest. Each new chapter will have a question to answer. In your review you answer the question and you'll get points. The person with the most points will either

a) Give me an idea for an Adrian/Rose (romance) or Lissa/Rose (friendship) pairing and I will write a one or two-shot about it.

b) I'll add you as a character in my story.

c) I'll give you a sneak peek into coming chapters.

d) All of the above

The top 3 reviewers will get to choose from those options. I was re-reading my chapters and I described Rose's engagement ring as gold in Chapter 2 then later on silver. It's SILVER and I posted a new picture of it in my profile. And as a special thank-you for reading and reviewing pictures of Adrian and Rose's WEDDING RINGS are now in my profile. I love Rose's wedding ring so go check it out! So I'm going to start with a simple question just so you guys get a taste of what the question will be like.

1) How does Rose find out she's pregnant?
